Combo Memo - WIP : Part 1

#programming #webdev

When I play fighting games, I find that I need some places to write down the combos I would use, but I cannot find a good place to do that.

There are websites that list out all the combos, but
1) the notation can be quite non-intuitive to understand.

For example

c.S > 2H > 236K, 2S > 41236H~H > 66RRC > IAD > j.236K > c.S > 6H > 41236H~H

2) There isn't a good place to store the combo list. I have tried excel, draw.io, but still the notation limited the readability.

So I want to make my own combo building website.

Goal

Make a simple website that can write and store fighting games' combos
Visualize combos as buttons, make it easy to read
Keep it small, get it done within 2~3 weeks (hopefully before Feb), no server-side features.

Here are things I am still figuring out

How to support multiple games with game-specific input? (eg. GGST has RC), need to design a good data structure
Figuring out an easy-to-use UI
Combos can have shared elements instead of completely different from each other. More like a tree than a list. Any good way to visualize this?

Here is the very early prototype, I will set the repo to public once it is done ~70％
